Partly granted
The appeal for service connection of multiple myeloma was dismissed due to procedural issues, and the claim for tinnitus was denied because it was not shown to be related to military service.
The deciding factor: The dismissal of the multiple myeloma claim was due to a concurrent election violation, while the denial of the tinnitus claim was based on lack of evidence linking it to service.
